January 30th, 2012 Hello Dragon! Day 2…

Photobucket
Mummy, sis and nephew with me!
My $7 tunic! Cheap and good! Hahaha…

Photobucket
First stop visiting at my aunt’s house and the star is always Toto!! Ten years old already but still very handsome, energetic and super hyper!

Photobucket
He got so excited that my aunt put him into his room. Yes. He’s like a human and has got a room of his own. The whole room to himself! Toto’s a happy furkid!
Of course Toto wasn’t happy that he got locked it and was making a lot of noise… Of course he got his way… Hahaha…

Photobucket
Toto’s let out to play in less than a minute… so funny…

Photobucket
Asking for a belly rub!

Photobucket
Then he decided to come and sit beside me on the sofa… he fell asleep shortly… SUPER ADORABLE…

And then to another aunt’s house!

Photobucket

Photobucket
Bak Kwa is loves……

Photobucket

Photobucket
My family… Must mahjong… Everywhere they go there’s mahjong…
I only know a little bit…

So sad that we all had to go to school/go to work on the third day…. Totally no mood. Third day is the day my relatives comes to my place, but it wasn’t as fun this year since most had to work and the little ones had to go to school. :(

But Dragon year is definitely a good year!!! Looking forward! :)

January 27th, 2012 I Love Cyber Colors!

SPONSORED REVIEW

Eyeliner and eyeshadow! 2 items I love since I love eye makeup! And I wanna thank Sasa for sponsoring the eye makeups! (read my post on Sasa’s Sasatinnie 360˚Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara here!)

Cyber Colors Auto Glitter Eyeliner Pen

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App
01 Black

Photobucket
Glittery black!

Photobucket
Natural lighting
Lined it on my upper and lower lash line

Photobucket
Added falsies on!
Light makeup!

The pencil is soft enough and hence it glides on easily. I expected lots of smudging since its in pencil form but there wasn’t. But I have to advise that my skin is kinda dry so I don’t really get smudges on my eye makeup a lot. I love the glitters, though I would love it more if it was more obvious! Would be perfect for those of you who love just a hint of glitter! So overall its rather pretty! :)

Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App
No 12 Black Pearl

Photobucket
Love the colour and the glitter! Lots of glitter and shine!

Photobucket
Day makeup: lightly dust Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow in Black Pearl in the eye socket. Heavier closer to the lash line and just a dash of higher up since its a day makeup.

Photobucket
Ta-da!
Just the Cyber Colors Auto Glitter Eyeliner Pen in Black, Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow in Black Pearl, a pair of falsies and some natural colour lipgloss!

Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow is easy to apply and blend. I tried it both with a sponge tip applicator and my little finger and it went on my eyelids quite well! I don’t recommend a brush, a little difficult to pick up the colour! Love its effects LOTS!

Photobucket
Something more drama… bolder lips!

I would add on to the intensity of the eyeshadow for a night look and perhaps extend the eyeliner for the kitty eye effect. Versatile!

You can get these 2 products from any Sasa outlets! Do like their Facebook Page for updates on promotions or new products!!

January 25th, 2012 Hello Dragon Day 1!

Photobucket
I was craving for cheesy stuff and ordered the Three Cheese Penne… or something like that…

Bro pushed his empty plate closer to mine to take a pic to post on twitter… I realized he was doing a comparison on our speed of eating…

Anyway I couldn’t finish my food so bro helped to finish half of them… and he fell sick the next day… :( *guilty….*

If you have been following my blog you would know that my hair is very damaged and dry with all the chemical processes…

Photobucket
And it was only a day before this DYNA treatment that I bleached and coloured the inner layers of my hair…

Photobucket
During the treatment!

Photobucket
The smoothness is so obvious! Do I have to say more?

Photobucket
Completed! I love how my hair looks so healthy and shiny! Its straightened without damaged to the hair… Instead my hair became healthier now even though I straightened it. And its permanent straightening, not temporary!

January 12th, 2012 Sasatinnie 360˚Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara

SPONSORED REVIEW

Ever tried a battery operated mascara? This is my first time and I’m pretty impressed!

Photobucket
Thanks to Sasa for sponsoring the Sasatinnie 360˚Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara!

Photobucket

How to use it:
Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
Just press the button and the mascara wand will start to rotate (clockwise). Press it another time and it will change it’s rotating direction (anti-clockwise) so that we can use it effectively on the upper and lower lashes!

Photobucket
Love the way the bristles are designed and it helps to coat the individual lashes and prevents clumping…

Photobucket
With one coat of mascara

Photobucket
More coats! U all know I love voluminous lashes!

Photobucket
And more coats on the lower lashes too!

I love the rotating wand and how easy it is to use! Can all mascaras be battery operated with the automatic rotating wands? All I have to do is the curl my lashes with a curler and let the rotating mascara wand do its job. I do not need to apply mascara in with that zig-zag action to voluminize them and risk the clumps. Love it and thumbs up! Both thumbs! \(^^)/ <3

I think I shall buy this as a gift for my girlfriends next time. The girls shouldn’t miss out on this awesome product! :)

Loves Sasatinnie 360˚Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara!

Do join Sasa’s Facebook page for more updates on their promotions and new products! CNY is coming! I’m heading down to stock up on my beauty products already! :)

January 10th, 2012 Loving Knits This Season!

I bought quite a few knits to add on to my current stash as many would know that its back again! :)

I was reading January’s issue of Vivi and saw some styles that I like!

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App
Recommended by the super gorgeous Lena Fuji!
Loose fitting knits X revealing a little of the shorts you are wearing underneath!
Seems that denims or lace shorts works best!
Kawaii… and show your legs babes!

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App
Recommended!

Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App
Another style that I thought makes my knits more versatile!
Knits on top of a shirt! I don’t think that we should stick to white shirts only. Any design will do! As long as it matches! :)

Ya i know Singapore’s weather may be hot for knits but you still can try. Buy the thinner types. Forget the woolen ones no matter how pretty the design is or how kawaii the Japanese look in them. Hahahaha… Will get a heatstoke in our little tropical red dot!

XOXO,
Xiaoxin
